Independent Republicans

The Independent Republicans (RI) was a liberal-conservative political party in France that was active from 1962 to 1977. The party was formed by a faction of the National Center of Independents and Peasants that chose to remain in Charles de Gaulle's government after the CNIP left the coalition in 1962. The party was a small partner of the Gaullists that tried to influence the party's policy in favor of economic liberalism and pro-Europeanism. In 1977, the Independent Republicans merged into the Republican Party.
